In fact, it's one of the first and biggest decisions you have to make as a new parent. Are you looking for a name that speaks to a family tradition or honors a cultural tradition? Or do you want your child to have a completely unique boy name? Whatever your approach, you'll find plenty of great options in the following list of the 1,000 most popular baby boy names, as recorded by the Social Security Administration (SSA). A quick scroll through the list reveals that several names have reigned supreme for years, like Oliver, Elijah, Noah, and James—just to name a few. You'll also find some potential pop culture nods (could that be the "Bridgerton" influence to see Simon, Anthony, and Colin making the cut?) along with classics like Daniel, Nicholas, John, David, and Joseph. This year, "L" baby names seem to tip the scales toward the top of the list—you'll spot Liam, Lucas, Levi, and Leo all within the top 20 rankings. Take a look through to help you narrow down your list of favorites (or inspire new ones) and enjoy the experience of finding a name you love for your new baby. Although baby names are often separated by gender, Parents believes that sex does not need to play a role in selecting names. It's important to choose a name you feel fits your child best. 30 Rare Baby Names The Current Top 1,000 Baby Boy Names

14 Creative Baby Names Perfect For Gen Z Parents Special Considerations Middle Names In the United States, it's traditional for a person to have three names—a first name, a middle name, and your family or last name. Of course, there are plenty of parents who give their children more than one middle name, or none at all. Whatever you choose for your child, it's always a good idea to make sure the names flow well together as a group, and that the initials don't spell out something that might embarrass you or them in the future! It may sound like common sense, but making sure you run through these considerations with your favorite names will help you feel more confident in finding the perfect name for your little one. Family Names Choosing a family name for your baby is still a common tradition, but there are multiple ways to go about it. In some families, the child (usually the firstborn) has the exact same name as the father, with the addition of a "Jr." (meaning junior) suffix at the end. If this extends beyond the original father and son, you typically use Roman numerals (II, III, IV, V, etc.) to depict this designation. In other families, name-sharing may be less traditional. Some parents will name their child the same first name as the father, but call them by their more unique middle name to help differentiate between the two. Or some families use different names completely, but choose ones that have similar meanings or sounds to honor the original name. When it comes to sharing names, be sure to consider the most famous and historical figures who will share your son's name. Are they individuals you want your son to be associated with? Whether you plan for it or not, the association with a famous person who shares the same name will likely follow your child throughout their lives so take special care to make sure you're happy with the choice.
